AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONSUMERS ARE MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER

[bigDeeOT]

you didn't bring up one thing that's the cause of black americans themselves.

Blacks killing each other in their own neighborhood is there own fault. Having 5 baby daddys babby mommas is their own fault.

to the black people that can afford it, they don't choose to live around other blacks.

Well yeah they move away because they don't want to be around the kind of bafoonery they see in the ghetto. But a lot of blacks will still say the cause of that bafoonery is the white man.

kumbuya nonsense. if you can't come to terms with black men being vilified in america, i cant entertain the convo.

This isn't nonsense, its clear as day. I don't care if black men have been vilified in america. Now that we are in a position where everyone is racist, what are we going to do? See that's the problem. People wanna talk about racism but at the end of the day you're never going to end racism so what's the point in droning on and on about it when we should be talking about what can we do to uplift ourselves, GIVEN that we live in a racist society.

And I guess I give claude anderson credit for actually addressing that sentiment in a way. He basically says that we live in a racist society, so we too have to play that game if we want to get ahead. But he speaks nothing of the problems of black people themselves.

Black people try and downplay problems within the black community by saying these are the same problems you see in any community.

That's wrong for a couple of reasons.

1. The magnitude of the degenerate culture within the black community is much higher than in any other community and its not even close. No other community has 70% out of wedlock births, and no other community accounts for 50% of all murder victims in the country.
2. Lets say if this degenerate culture only applies to like 10-20% of the black community. It actually applies to more like 95% of the black community and you know why? Because NO black person will EVER denounce the actions of these thugs and this degenerate culture. I can't think not one single black leader who can criticize the black community without coming across as a racist, sell out, or "uncle tom."

So whenever asian people look at blacks and make stereotypes about them, you CANNOT blame them. You can't say "oh well that only applies to 5% of blacks, we're not all like that." No, you can't say a damn thing if you don't ever publicly denounce the actions of these thugs. You are essentially supporting black degenerate culture by your acquiescence. Actually this goes beyond acquiescence. Black people go out of their way to let others know what it means to be black with all this bafoonery you see in hip hop music videos and reality tv shows.

I see some truth there. Black on black violence and jealousy is definately a huge hurdle between black people and starting businesses in black neighborhoods. I guess its like, how can you even get to that point when you have such a love hate relationship with your people.

I still dont see this as a big enough deterrant to spend money with black people. If you're going to wait for black people to become a great moral body, i wouldnt hold my breath friend.

 

[Piff Perkins]

sooo can we use some of that money to support black businesses?

I think the solution to all our problems starts with us admitting that these are problems we need to take accountability for. From there, the solutions will just flow naturally. Because in the end, the goal is to change the attitudes of people.

blacks killing each other didn't start off as black killing eachother, it is not inherent. it's all a result of poverty, lack of structure, and lack of opportunity. even black womans promiscuity isn't inherent, this comes from decades, actually, centuries* of being devalued with NO beneficial structure to take part of.

Well yeah they move away because they don't want to be around the kind of bafoonery they see in the ghetto. But a lot of blacks will still say the cause of that bafoonery is the white man.

so being isolated to communities that lack resources and job opportunities is strictly blacks fault? whites have nothing to do with the situation?

This isn't nonsense, its clear as day. I don't care if black men have been vilified in america. Now that we are in a position where everyone is racist, what are we going to do?

blacks are on hostile land, it would make sense to discuss the environment we're being cultivated in. i understand only blacks can only fix our situation, but pretending like whites have delt no hand in our long stemming problems is an outright lie.

And I guess I give claude anderson credit for actually addressing that sentiment in a way. He basically says that we live in a racist society, so we too have to play that game if we want to get ahead. But he speaks nothing of the problems of black people themselves.

we can speak about the problems of black people all day, i'm down with that. but why pretend like the major road block ISNT the dominant society?

Currently 43 million strong, African-American consumers have unique behaviors from the total market. For example, they’re more aggressive consumers of media and they shop more frequently. Blacks watch more television (37%), make more shopping trips (eight), purchase more ethnic beauty and grooming products (nine times more), read more financial magazines (28%) and spend more than twice the time at personal hosted websites than any other group.

Too much consuming and not enough producing. Black people have a habit of trying to buy our way into wealth and prosperity where that is the opposite way of getting there. Not to mention, black people seem to believe that "looking like money" is more important than actually having money. I know more than enough people who live in depressed area driving German luxury vehicles. Cars that cost at least half, if not more, of the very house they live in.

The thing about "consumer power", and I'm very way of using such a term, is that it means nothing if its not aggregated and used for specified purposes. Purposes that benefit black suppliers and providers of products and services. Having one trillion dollars to spend with everyone means NOTHING for the black community. In fact, it means everything for everyone else because they're the ones benefiting from our "consumer power."

Black people have certain staples that we use. Products that we specifically consume and yet we have failed to produce, distribute and sell these goods in any quantifiable manner in most cases. A simple example would be black hair care products, which are exclusive to us yet other communities dominate these products. To the point, where they come from across the world because they know they can become wealthy from selling these products to us in our own neighborhoods. Think about how backwards that is.

Until we understand the importance of USING OUR MONEY for purposes that relate to benefiting and enriching ourselves, then we will continue to be the golden goose for every other community except our very own. We are allowing our money to be used as a weapon against us instead of a weapon for us.

Peace

I hate the title of this thread...its so disturbing

I've always heard that the slaves would actually work slow just to spite the master. But I don't want to debate that point.

The point is, if you've got a gun to your head, of course you're going to work.

I don't think either one of us can testify to the quality or efficacy of the slaves back then. It sounds like you're trying to say black slaves back then were really good workers and weren't lazy. How do you know this?

are you serious with this breh? The quality or efficacy of the slaves back then is the result of the U.S. today...you got to be the most ignorant person I've come across
no one can debate such ignorance...

I hate the title of this thread...its so disturbing

The thread title should read AFRICAN AMERICAN CONSUMERS ARE EASIER TO EXPLOIT THAN EVER

This article is really for non-blacks to use so that they can effectively better exploit our dollar.

Can the black community even be compared side by side with another community in America?
I mean which group has a history in this nation that is close enough to make comparisons accurate and/or practical?

This is a legit question

 

[Insensitive]

so now we were always lazy blacks who made for shytty slaves what are you saying?

Brah.
You are arguing with a next level Uncle Ruckus
type c00n with @bigDeeOT

This is a legit question

There really is no group that has had an experience
analogous to that of Black Americans.
It's difficult to discuss any issues without bringing up
the history of Black Americans in this country.

Dudes like @bigDeeOT like to present this post racial
paradise that is being destroyed by Black Americans as
some sort of logical narrative.
Like the country was just perfect post 1964 and ghetto's
were actually beautiful suburbs and racism just became
a thing of the past.
It's completely illogical drivel that serves no
purpose except to shyt on and put down Black Americans.

I mean this fukking clown really said "Blacks own no
business's except barber shops".
I thought self hatred of this level was reserved
for media personalities trying to appeal to
conservative whites.
I'm just @ this dude and
his startling displays of idiocy.


He's a fukking clown and that's strike three.
He comes out his face again then it's

It cant be compared because there is no such thing as a black community.

Just neighborhoods.
